Adventures in Surat

So last week was midterms which ment my job consisted of sitting in a room watching the students take their tests while trying not to fall asleep. During the week a dog tried to chase me down on my bike and I experienced an Arctic adventure while watching Harry Potter at the theater.

On Sunday, night on my way home from a friends house a dog decided that he wanted to try taking my leg off as I speed down a street. Clearly driving on the other side of the road was an invasion of his territory. Hearing the dog suddenly start barking at me startled me and I quickly lost my attacker by hitting the gas. This is the second time a dog has decided it want to try to follow or attack me in Thailand...last time I had food on me and the dog just wanted to follow me. I am definitely not a fan of the street dogs here and I doubt that will ever change.

On Monday, I went back into town to go see Harry Potter since the theater had it in English. I remembered all the warning I had been given about Coliseum being an icebox so I brought a hoodie with me. Well icebox is an understatement it was like going to the arctic! Even with the hoodie I was freezing! I don't know why the Thai people are so obssesed with cranking the AC up so every room is like walking into a snowdrift while outside it's boiling hot. The movie was good and next time I'll make sure to bring a warmer hoodie :)
